A March man whose £80,000 Aston Martin was reported abandoned earlier this year has been charged with perverting the course of justice.

The 67-year-old was arrested on March 23 in connection with the incident.

The charge comes after his car was reported abandoned to police by a member of the public after it veered off March Road, Tipps End on March 3.

He has been bailed to return to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on August 3.
